But Medinī Rai, who had just then defeated a force of Muzaffar Shāh Gujaratī,¹¹² was not to be daunted by all this. He marched with 40,000 Rajputs against 'Imādul Mulk at which, according to Nizāmuddīn Ahmad, the Sultan recalled his forces.¹¹³ Very soon after, however, he took advantage of the differences which had arisen between Behjat Khan and prince Muhammad¹¹⁴ and ordered Saʻīd Khan son of Mubārak Khan Lodī, Shaikh Jamāl son of ʻUsmān Farmūlī, Rai Ugra Sen Khichi,¹¹⁵ Khizr Khan and Khwājā Ahmad to help Muhammad Khan seize Chanderi from Behjat. Finding resistance useless, Behjat made his submission in A. D. 1515 (921 H.).¹¹⁶ The royal generals occupied Chanderi, and although the fief remained in the name of prince Muhammad, the authority of Sikandar Lodī was firmly established there.
